Game runs with no GUI

Hello!

I've just bought WFTO, download + install and... there is no menu for me.

I did everything what is said in this thread: https://forum.subterraneangames.com/threads/solution-for-ui-does-not-show-or-game-is-very-slow.8665/

So I change my Intel to AMD as high performance but there is still no menu for me - just the dungeon heart + all sounds. It's changed to "High Performance" even after PC restart.

By watching movies on YT I've found invisible (for now) Campaning button and manage to start game but it stops to work after few seconds.


My PC:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U, 2.20 GHz (4 CPUs)
8 GB RAM
Intel(R) HG Graphics 5500


Here's the latest output

Platform:

UI Missing

My copy of War of the Overworld is having the missing UI problem that others seem to have. I did the original fixes posted with the popup, although that no longer loads and I do not have the link to that particular thread, my apologies.

I have since updated to Crimson for Radeon which is completely different from the instructions located in those other threads (I don't have catalyst anymore, not really sure why), so am at a loss as for what to do.

Let me know what I need to post if anything.

Thank you for any help.

Hi Kamil,


I would like to get in touch with you if you are willing to assist us in a few tests. This would be incredibly helpful for us, Scott and other users that may encounter a similar issue.


Please let me know if that would be OK with you and what would be the most convenient method for communication.


Regards,

John

Hello Kamil,
this must be very annoying and we are sorry that you have such troubles,
but we really struggle to find the cause of the problem and hope yet to find a solution.
Did you also try the workarounds from this steam thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/230190/discussions/0/523890681426547342/ ?
This thread contains contains some more solutions we found for similar system specific issues we encountered in the past.
In particular could you try to start the game with the launch parameters "-force-d3d9" and then with "-force-d3d11".
(Just one little hope)
Does it change anything?

If not, then we could really use some help this matter @John Coh.

Thanks in advance John and sorry for inconvenience Kamil.

Hi Kamil,


I can see in the screenshots there that the Active Power Plan is set to Power Saving. You'll need to find out how to change that. You might be able to do that from the Windows Power Options.

Scott - I've downloaded files from the link you've post. Installed and restart PC. Nothing changed, still no menu for me...


John - Hello!

Here are screenshots -> I've changed all to High Performance but there is still no UI. I've added latest output and launcher log as well

Sometimes (not always) when I run the game I'm still receiving this information:

Hi Kamil,


My name is John and I am part of the support team at Coherent Labs.


Scott has escalated this to our support system and we are also investigating the problem you are experiencing on our side. Could you check what the version of your Radeon Software Crimson is? I saw from your screenshot that you have checked "Allow additional power-savings." and that you are in Power saving mode. Could you uncheck the option and move to a High performance mode?


Regards,

John

Hey Kamil,


For some reason it looks like the Intel GPU drivers didn't update. Maybe try this specific driver download here and restart your laptop after install: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26078/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40-?v=t

Just did as you said - I've updated my Intel GPU drivers from link you've posted. After that I tried to run the game (so the newest patch was dowloaded) but still no game menu...

In addition to the AMD drivers you could also try updating your Intel GPU drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/

I've download the newest drivers as it was said in https://forum.subterraneangames.com/threads/solution-for-ui-does-not-show-or-game-is-very-slow.8665/


I've tried all possible combinations in Power -> Switchable Graphics Global options and there is still no game menu for me...

I have no idea where else I should (or could) click to change Intel to AMD GPU so the game will finally start to work
